Letterkenny Pharmacy Technician Clare O’Donnell has been crowned this year’s Mary From Dungloe.

Claire, who was this year’s ‘Donegal Mary’ was a hugely popular choice with the judges.

She was presented with her crown last night at this year’s gala event at the gym hall at Rosses Community School.

Claire is the daughter of well-known Letterkenny couple Gerard and Iris O’Donnell.

The Letterkenny woman was speechless when host Daniel O’Donnell announced her as the winner of this year’s crown.

She was immediately surrounded by all of her fellow contestants at this year’s hugely successful Mary from Dungloe Festival.
